Tim Cullivan has done work for us on about 5 or 6 separate occasions. He always has been very punctual and meticulous in his work. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing electrical contracting help of any kind.
Description of Work: Most recently, Tim installed a new electric outlet and moved an existing electrical line in our garage so that we could refinish our garage floor.

Tim and Mike Cullivan are complete professionals, Mike quoted a price and actually came in under the price he quoted me. Mike did the work himself, and was on time, was quick and the work was so clean in regards to the new wiring he installed! I will not have anyone else do our electrical work. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Description of Work: Added all new electrical in dining room for can lighting and a chandelier. As well as adding dimmer switches throughout the downstairs.

I needed the work done quickly so store could schedule dishwasher installation. Mr Cullivan returned my call after work on Monday and made appt for 8:15am the next day! He came and got it done efficiently. I didn't meet him but my adult daughter said he was nice. The cost was a little higher than I expected, but given his promptness, I was very happy to pay it!

Response from Cullivan Electric
The reasons for the higher labor charges was due to looking at several different ways to accomplish the grounding of the outlet under the sink. Plus once this was determined a hole needed to be drilled into the unfinished basement area from under the sink. Working in a small space under a sink is just plain slow and difficult. I appreciate the quick payment and hope this explains the xtra time. Tim

Fantastic! True professionalism. Tim and his team have been out to help us three times, with each visit better than the last. They have repaired/replaced/installed several fixtures for us; installed several outlets inside the home and the garage; and have worked with us in troubleshooting ongoing load mysteries. Tim has worked with MidAmerican to get to the bottom of our service difficulties. Very personable, direct, and professional. Highly recommended.

What if this person were on vacation? Is there possibly another electrician in the state that you could have called? Or maybe the person was ill in the hospital.

Tim and his assistant showed up at the time set and immediately started working. Tim noticed an issue with an outside electrical outlet that we didn't know about, and checked to make sure that it was set up properly and safely. They repaired a number of issues and discussed options for other electrical work that we may do in the future. I have not commented on the price because we have not yet been billed.

I felt the service provided was excellent. He was able to fit me into his schedule extremely fast and spent plenty of time with me figuring out my problem. As like so many other things, when he first came out, the problem didn't arise as it had every day for the past week but he continued to look at things and eventually we got the issue to arise and he was able to pinpoint the problem and resolve it.
Description of Work: Provided help troubleshooting a shortage causing my circuit breaker to blow whenever my home theater projector was turned on.

I called Tim and he came the next day because he knew it had to be done for a new tenant. Tim and his son, Mike, are always professional and do fantastic work. They did all of the electrical work for my addition a few years ago; a 24X26 porch on the back of my house. I wouldn't hire anyone else.

Tim's schedule was quite full, so I had to wait a few days after the initial contact to schedule the work at a mutually convenient time. On the day of the appointment, he arrived promptly, and was pleasant, friendly, and courteous--very professional and a pleasure to work with. He checked everything out very thoroughly and installed the new GFCI and photo cell (using parts that I had purchased in advance, as I was pretty sure what needed to be done--just didn't want to do the electrical work myself). The price was very, very reasonable and the service was excellent--if more electrical work arises, I won't hesitate to call Cullivan again.

He arrived a little late because he misunderstood my street name and couldn't find my house. Other than that, things went fine. I've used him once before and he did a great job that time adding a light inside my shower and installing a new bathroom fan.
Description of Work: There was a hot, burning smell when I turned on my ceiling fan so I thought I should have it checked out. He replaced the bulbs which showed burn marks and replaced the switch.

Could not have had a better experience!
Description of Work: I called Tim because I had a light fixture in the garage that was not working. The problem was solved with a new ballast installed. It took him about 15 minutes to complete the job, start to finish! This is the second time that I have used Tim. He is very professional, does what he says he is going to do and completes the job correctly the first time. Tim also charges reasonable rates for his work. What more could you hope for? Give Tim a try...you won't be disappointed.
